Overview

Welcome to Gouache for Illustrators,

I'm Romica Spiegl-Jones of Romica Jones Design and I'm a graphic designer and Illustrator based in Manchester. Gouache is a beautiful medium and has been used by Illustrators way before the computer was part of our lives. Following the Success of "Your first Steps with Gouache", which covers the basics of gouache, I'm really happy to present you this new class.

In this class you will learn how to create a cute animal illustration with Gouache.

The class covers:

  • The materials you need
  • The Concept of Cuteness - What actually makes things cute
  • How to prepare your workspace
  • 2 different Sketching Methods
  • Brush Practice Strokes for fur
  • How to layer colours
  • How to add details for a beautiful finished Illustration

You will also receive an exclusive "Gouache for Illustrators" - Cheat Sheet PDF for Mixing Colours.

ENROLL TODAY to receive access to self-paced videos, feedback on your progress, friendly class mates and more.

I'm looking forward to all your beautiful projects,

Romica :)
